Chapter 40: Oblivious Prey?
Narrators Pov:
As Vice-admiral Kizaru,Vice-admiral Kuzan and his fleet steadily pursued "Red-haired" Shanks, they didn't know they weren't the only one.
Because behind them , two more parties were also in steady pursuit ,each with different goals for the red-haired pirate. One was a small vessel ,shaped in a weird manner that had three people in it.
One figure was that of a tall middle aged man dressed in gentlemanly garments. He sported youthful red and white hair in braids, a small white goatee and strange circular eyebrows. He also had a piercing in his lower lip connected to an earring in his left ear. He wore a purple shirt with a ruffled neck and a red cloak with yellow and blue diamonds.
He was currently sitting down on the deck of the vessel as looked at the calm waves of the ocean in silence,a sword guard on his right next to a small bag that contained other assortments. That was interrupted a moment later as the door behind him opened as two tall and youthful figures emerged. He looked at the one on the left before he turned back to looking at the ocean as he asked,
" How long until we reach Rezden island?'' , towards the one on the left. He was a very large and muscular man with broad shoulders and his hair slicked back into a cowlick.He also had several tattoos on his left arm and a large scar on the left side of his chest. He wore black pants and red militeristic boots and a red shirt that emphasized his muscles.
" It should take a week at our current pace.We can always stop somewhere and use the other ship if you want." The middle aged man said nothing for couple of seconds before hummed and said,
" Don't bother, patience is a virtue I've learned to abide by. Besides , if we get there too early, the marines won't be there, which will be less exciting as I expect the fleet admiral to send someone like [Garp The Fist] if my intuition is right. He'll be a worthy enough adversary to quell my boredom as you two fight that red-haired brat to your heart's content''. Both figures said nothing as the middle aged man continued speaking in a calm tone,this time towards the other figure on his left
" When we do get there and you fight him, make sure to go all out. While defeating that bear and the vice-admiral isn't worth much in the grand scheme of things, I can't have you tarnishing your father's legacy". The teen, covered by a shadow, simply nodded in understanding. The middle aged man simply hummed in response as the ship continued sail, as silence ensued on the ship.
On the other vessel that was pursuing the red-haired pirates, a tall middle aged man with red-hair dressed in royal garbs sat on a golden chair with a table in front of him and a sword guard next to him on the front of the ship. Behind him were two figures who also sat in golden royal chairs, looking forward. One of the figures was tall and dressed in golden armor resembling that of a knight that covered the entirety of his body, including his face.
Next to him, the second figure was dressed in red royal armor that also completed his body, including his face.
This ship was occupied by Fingarland Garling, the current captain of [God's Knights] and the two behind him were his second and third in command. They also were currently sailing towards Rezden island, as instructed by the five elders .
Garland glanced behind at the two figures , who looked to be awake and alert but were actually asleep. He looked back at the sea in front of him before sighed and just picked up the cup of tea on the wooden table in front of him and drank to ease his mind. He put the cup of tea down a minute later as he looked at the moon in wonder for a minute.
He sighed in resignation as dark clouds started to gather, slowly blocking the glow of the moon as they started to produce lightning and thunder the next instant that flashed in the air. The sea, previously calm and in order, was slowly engulfed in chaos as waves started to gather.
The tow behind him, previously asleep, seemed to have been woken up as the ship started to sway from side to side as the waves of the ocean continued to gather and become stronger with each passing second.
In Front of them, a storm slowly formed as it grew in intensity and whirlpools formed near it. Garling looked at it ,sighing once more, something he had been doing a lot of lately, before he spoke up,
" Seems like what I feared has come true. A mini God-valley incident is ahead of us. Sigh,Kogane, erase it from my sight. Aka, check and make sure we stay on track."
As he said that, the figure adorned in the knightly golden armor stood up and unsheathed the golden sword previously sealed in the golden sheath on his hip. He simply then raised the word, clutching its hilt with both of his hands before he swung it as he silently muttered
[Golden Eminence]. A single golden wind slash was the result. It appeared in front of the storm a second after it was released and a second later , there was no storm as the dark clouds were no more and the sea was calm once more,as if a storm was never created.
As that happened, Garland simply and calmly sipped his tea, the golden knight sheathed his golden sword back in its guard and the red knight simply opened the door leading inside the ship as he disappeared a second later. The golden walked back to his seat and silence ensued, as both the golden knight and Garling watched the calm waves of the sea sway left to right every passing second in peace, both deep in their thoughts.
